The other day I performed an upgrade of Windows 7 RC to Windows 7 RTM using the workaround mentioned here, as this is not an option straight out of the box.
I think I may have just stumbled across one of the reasons why.
I have just noticed that my HTC Touch Pro hadn’t picked up some new appointments from my calendar in Outlook. Hmmm……odd I thought! At this point I tried to open Windows Mobile Device Center to attempt to start a sync manually and I received this error!
Upon seeing this I also tried to launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 for the first time since I upgraded and…..nothing……not even an error message. It just didn’t launch.
Anyway, I have just re-downloaded and re-installed the beta of .Net 4.0 framework and now my mobile is syncing correctly and WMDC starts without a problem. Great….a 2 minute fix I thought!
Then I launched Visual Studio 2010 and to my delight I saw the splash screen!…….for about 4 seconds until this……

So unfortunately, it looks like I will need to re-download the Visual Studio 2010 beta and re-install it before that works again 
That will teach me to upgrade from RC to RTM!
